It's almost laughable how ridiculous some of the teams/moves that the AI use at times.

Game Freak knows very well all those underlying mechanics they don't explain in great detail (that Destiny Knot thing for example was only told to Japanese gamers...and not us). They do really want people to figure it all out in groups.

My team of Gliscor, M-Venusaur and Rotom-H is promising. I dont fear any statu move except confusion. My Gliscor is a female one and those who use attract a generaly female pkmn. They all have good bulk and hit decently. Gliscor after a sword dance hit hard with Earthquake and Ice Fang. Im still thinking if I should teach him Taunt?

Their speed is not that great, but their bulk and the little recovery they get compensate for that.
Now I just need to replace the M-Venusaur for one with Giga Drain for longevity, but my breeding today isnt going that well... Im trying to get a Calm Bulbasaur with 31/x/31/31/31/31 but I always miss at least one stat..

I think the two of the most blatant examples of AI cheating are when it comes to them using Yawn or Protect.

In the former case, it's not uncommon for them to predict that you'll switch out numerous times and just keep spamming Yawn until they either run out of PP or you just give up and let a Pokemon fall asleep. In the latter case, they'll pretty much never use Protect if you aren't trying to hit them something, and the reverse.

you miss a focus sash pkm... i never faced the various "battle maison" without it... too many variables with quick clawers, bad hits, etc........ i'm currently at battle 80+ using aegislash (with lum berry, in order to avoid status problems), Garchomp with anti-ice berry, and gengar with focus sash and destiny bond, and i have had only a couple of difficult situations...

I don't think you need a Focus Sash'd member as fabserebii said personally, as nothing you have really benefits from it, and Multiscale Dragonite is as good (or better) than a Focus Sash 90% of the time, so he can take your big hits/Quick Claw hax.

Just a point on Shadow Sneak; you had no priority on your team, and no sash breaking (weather/hazards), I think it is important that you have a way to deal with a Sash'd/Sturdy opponent; especially one that has their own Priority, has buffed to outspeed M-Alakazam, or if Zam is down. Given fabserebii's team, for example, his Gengar alone would cause major issues for your team with your current setup, and that is not a corner case scenario.

Did the standard Rotation battles the other day for the first time. Forgot how fun and tactical Rotation battles can be since I only ever got to do like one in pokemon White since may game was Triple Battle focused.
Also discovered how weak my current team is to Ground, almost got sweeped by a Shell Smashing, Earthquake using Marcargo, A MARCARGO!

Shame you can't battle over wi-fi with friends in the Multi-battles. Anyways next for me is to beat the standard Singles and buy myself Steel Wing.

Dragonite doesn't need Fly. Ever. Give it Dragon Claw instead, and Fire Punch or Waterfall in the last slot.

For Aegislash, give him Sacred Sword and Shadow Sneak, the two moves have perfect coverage together, and as someone mentioned, SS ignores Defense stat boosts (and I've faced a lot of Pokémon with Curse.)

Alakazam should really have a Timid nature, and find out if it has a useful Hidden Power.

If his Speed IV is perfect, he can probably get away with Modest, M-Zam is pretty crazy fast. Since BM doesn't have enemy Mega Evos, the only thing that would beat it would be Max Speed Deoxys, Crobat, Jolteon, Accelgor, Ninjask and Electrode. Definitely some concerns if Agility, Speed Boost, Shell Smash or Baton Passing gets involved, but the extra SpA may solve that issue before it becomes one. Scarf'd mons could be an issue, but I would have to look more at what threats break that barrier while still being an issue for the entire team.

The Super Battles are very challenging. Got surprising loss after just 8 rounds of Super Double....Got paralyzed, leech seeded, and confused by the enemy team...kept being paralyzed and hitting myself in my confusion. >.> I find that a lot of "cheating" goes on at the AI's end. It's like all the odds are against you...

I'm surprised I got that far, as my team was Charizard (Y), Kangaskhan, Gardevoir and Heracross. But obviously I could only mega one per battle, so I had to just gamble and mega evolve the one I thought would benefit most. I really ought to EV train some none megas...

As surprising as it was it was annoying to come so close to that 20th battle.

Khangaskan@khangaskanite (revenge killer and swepper)
Abillity:Scrappy
Nature:Jolly
252 atk/ 252 spd/4Hp
-Fake out
-Return(I wanted to use Body Slam over return, but i must wait ´till December to do it)
-Crunch
-Power up Punch

What do you think guys? I still didn´t used the second team because I still breeding Khangaskan and leveling Dragonite to learn Hurricane, but I´m a little more confident about the second one. Any tips of what could I do or trade in both teams?
Thanks in advance.
Obs: All my pokémon are flawess, if it helps...

Looks pretty good, your Dragonite set looks really interesting. I'm not the best when it comes to competitive battling though, so I can't fully predict how your team will play out.

Nice team, did you consider Sucker Punch over Crunch? priority are always good if possible and more if you fight against a Trick Room Team. I think there's a Slowbro who use trick room. Just a idea tho

Well, I´m thinking of trading Crunch for Sucker Punch, but I have other ideia for the third slot of the second team, thinking in rain and priority together:
Azumarill@Choice band
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Huge Power
252 atk/84 spd and the rest at HP
-Aqua Jet
-Play Rough
-Waterfall
-Superpower
I think Azumarill will do quite well in the place of Kanghaskhan, and my team won´t get problems having two water types because Greninja ins´t necessary a water type, thinking of the protean ability. it´s strange to think in a team without megas, but I can´t think of any mega that really takes advantage of rain, a thing Azumarill do deadly.

I couldnt figure why my new team is worse than the old team when it comes to 2 on 2 (could not reach the 10th streak lol)
New Team
Mega Charizard Y
Solarbeam, Heat Wave, Dragon Pulse, Air Slash
Timid- 252 Sp atk, 252 speed and 4 hp

Can any 3rd party make some comparisons?I just dun get why my new team get demolished so badly

I used a weather team as well for Super Doubles but I used Rain as I think Sun is limited, but that's just me. Maybe you could use another mon that takes advantage of the Sun along side of Leafeon, Victreebel is something that hits hard on both sides and with access to Growth to boost its power
My Rain team was Politoad (Damp Rock), Ludiocolo (Absorb Bulb), Gastrodon (Rindo Berry), and Scizor (Mega Scizor), I used Surf all the way through basically

I was wondering.....what is the best team to hit the maison?
One who can hit hard and fast or One with walls?
I must admit that I unlocked the super battles without much thinking, but after parecipating in one of it, well, I said to myself that I should have trained my Pokčmon better. LOL

All my pokemons had 4 perfect ivs, in last battle i changed my team for a bunch of pokemons with ice beam xD

Tips: when you get a pokemon that do no dmg, or low dmg to aeglislash you should change to aegli, even if you can beat that pokemon easly with 1 of the other 2 pokes, and stack swords dance, cause 3 swords dance + shadow sneak (priority move) its a 99% kill.

As you can see i have 9 diferent atack types in my team, i can pretty much cover all the enemy weakness, and in 80% of the fights i KO 1-2 enemy pokes with my Blaziken.

As you guys know Weakness policy and multiscale works great together. And Aeglislash can hold for a long time thanks to leftovers.

Remember to check speed stat of the enemy pokemon, you only should use protect if the enemy pokemon can outspeed you, otherwise dont waste a turn doing protect.

Anyway, gl with your streaks, im gonna try super multi battle.

PS: Sorry for my english, its not my main language, but i been reading this site for so long, i wanna participate too xD

For Aegislash
I would rather use Sacred Sword instead of Iron Head, even if Iron Head STABs and hits Fairy hard, Sacred Sword can cover most type that Shadow Sneak can't like Normal Type Pokemon. I would use Lum Berry instead of Leftover even if Leftover heals it, Lum Berry can get Aegislash out of trouble when it gets asleep.

I do thought of someone like Victreebel, I just want to avoid using the same type of pokemon. An Aerodactyle could have wipe my whole team out. It is good but considering its tanking abilities I believe Leafeon beats all. One the side note, Chlorophyll doesnt work on the first turn when Charizard mega evolved...well thats sad but I usually use helping hand to wipe the whole team
